relevant information, depending on both low-level visual attributes of stimuli in the …

In two experiments, we examined the ability of adults with attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) to preocess multiple targets appearing in a rapid serial visual presentation …

In primates, stimulus-driven changes in visual attention can facilitate or hinder perceptual
performance, depending on the location and timing of the stimulus event. Mice have …

A 5-arm maze was used to measure sustained visuo-spatial attention in C57Bl/6 mice and
